Thumbs up

Congratulations Bob!! You can now really appreciate what your car is capable of, and the potential for your driving skills. As Dell said many times "it's seat time", and, the willingness to listen and learn.
Hmmm, what do we need to buy next for the car to prep for the upcoming season?

Default Contagious Like Malaria!!!

FYI - I'm making the family and the in-laws crazy by talking about everything in the context of DE. I'm watching the videos whenever I get a free moment.

So, here's my wish list for the next DE (I can hear you guys laughing):
- new tires in front (PS2)
- new seats
- clear bra
- tighter suspension

Sure, new tools, roll bar, 5-point harnesses, track tires, a trailer, a new SUV to pull said trailer, driving suit, real driving shoes, and for my garage are all in my head right now. But, I have to pace myself.

Don't tell my wife.

You know you are welcome anytime to use my lift. You can always pick my brain for track advice and learn from my trail and error to find the "right" setup.

Now post up some in car video!!!!!

Video and pictures are on the way - Later this afternoon. It's a slow process - with my ADD, I end up watching and rewinding repeatedly before realizing that I was originally going to post the video.

As for the photos, I have so many great photos, I have to make some tough choices about which ones to keep. But, I think you'll all like what you see.

Bob, now you know there is a brand new track in NJ, over in Millville. 2 road courses. A few of the car clubs have run DE's there. Sooo, if things get boring you can make a run over to the track, some great roads in south NJ. Forgot, you took the minivan. What was your wife's suggestion? She'll take the van with the kids and dog and you take the Porsche.
Looking forward to the pictures and video. Helmut got my 911 in his one lap video; I just need a few more hp to keep up with those Caymans.
Have a great Thanksgiving

OK - No videos until I'm at my home computer; I don't have the video transfer equipment I need here in NJ. However, I will be able to post a link to my photos in a little while.

Default DE Photos

Here are a couple of my favorites from the weekend. There's Dell (RSA), Bob (996 #363), Alberto (Boxster S), Helmut (Cayman S), and 2 photos of Rich (911 Cab). Dell was Rich's instructor giving the 2 thumbs up.

I have lot's more of each of your cars. I'll post them to a Kodakgallery album and let me know which ones you want.

Enjoy!
Bob
